WHY FRESHMEN SHOULD VISIT THEIR CAREER CENTER OR CAREER COUNSELOR
It's more beneficial for a student to visit the career center in your first year as freshmen, rather than waiting until you're ready to graduate four years later.

Here are 5 things you should do to prepare for your visit:
1. Make an appointment and come prepared with all your questions.
2. Share your true interests and what is important to you. You don't have to pick a major or have a job in mind but start to think about what you like to do. Don't just think in terms of resume building activities.
3. Find out what other students did this summer. Begin to network with other students and think about joining a student club. Talk to your professors about their network.
4. Learn about resources. Career centers have extensive online libraries to access information on internships, career tracks, etc.
5. It doesn't hurt to get started on your resume now, even if you'll be making many changes down the road.

It's not about building the perfect resume or deciding on a career path when they're just getting started in college. This is really the time for you to explore your interests, start a career conversation and consider how your experiences - even if they seem random at the moment - may be related to your aspirations for the future. The sooner students start the conversation, the greater the possibilities and the more they can get out of their college experiences. As they begin to understand what they want out of life, students can identify potential internships, fellowships, alumni connections and other opportunities.
